INSPIRING A JUST AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURE THROUGH OUR PROGRAMS, LAND, AND LEGACY
From the Executive Director & Board Chair
Looking back on our first full year as Hidden Villa’s Executive Director and Board Chair, we feel gratified and humbled by our achievements. We can point with pride to our accomplishments while feeling
honored and grateful for the many supporters who helped our organization attain its goals. Transitions are always challenging—even
more so during prolonged periods of recession. In 2004–2005, as you
will read in this report, we were able to maintain our level of service,
excellence, and “customer satisfaction.”
We strive to uphold our mission: Inspiring a just and sustainable future through our programs, land, and legacy. The word “inspire” literally means “to breathe in.” At the beginning of last fiscal year, we
took a deep breath and rolled up our sleeves to face our biggest challenge—sustainability. We examined our programs and policies, took
stock of our assets, assessed our internal and external relationships,
and made some structural changes to our organization. We opened
our doors and reached out to our neighbors and neighboring communities. We laid the groundwork for our Strategic Planning process,
which began last October.
Taking our mission statement to heart, we are addressing the “just” attribute by looking outside our Los Altos Hills preserve and finding ways
to provide support to underserved children and families within their
own communities. Last fiscal year, we completed assessment and planning, secured funding, and are now initiating educational and family
assistance programs in collaboration with local schools and agencies.
We are taking a fresh look at all that we do at Hidden Villa—and engaging community partners to identify with us opportunities to meet
community needs. We want to build on our staff’s expertise to develop innovative programs and to sustain planning as an ongoing
process so we can continue to be relevant and responsive.
We can only do this with the dedication and philanthropy of generous
individual donors and organizations listed in this report. They make
it possible for us to reach our goals and pursue even higher standards.
The best way we can acknowledge and express our deep appreciation
for this support is by assuring proper stewardship of Hidden Villa’s
programs, land, and legacy.
Sincerely,
Beth Ross
Executive Director
Tom Livermore
Chair, Board of Trustees

programs
“I will never forget
Hidden Villa. While there,
I never got bored, there was always
something to do.”
—camper
Hidden Villa served nearly 30,000 “customers” through its fee-based
programs, two-thirds of whom were the 19,500 elementary school students and teachers who participated in environmental education field
trips and the 950 youngsters who experienced Summer Camp.
Our two core programs—Hidden Villa Environmental Education
Program (HVEEP) and Summer Camp—were fully subscribed, welcoming children from eight Bay Area counties. 42% of Summer Camp
and 21% of HVEEP participants received financial assistance. Besides
financial aid, Hidden Villa provided bus transportation for students
and campers from East Menlo Park and East Palo Alto to attend our
programs.
environmental education
Hidden Villa Environmental Education Program (HVEEP) conducted
Farm Tours and Farm & Wilderness Exploration field trips for 548 classes from 261 Bay Area schools. The HVEEP staff of 4 naturalists and
6 interns were assisted by 79 volunteers who donated over 5000 hours
leading groups around the farm and up the wilderness trails.

Besides the standard field trips, HVEEP offered a number of tailored
programs:

■
■
Two-School Friends concluded its 3rd year, pairing 3rd-grade students
from Juana Briones (Palo Alto) and Belle Haven (East Menlo Park)
Elementary Schools, and again garnered high marks from students
and teachers alike.
Half-day Garden Days is now firmly established as an alternative
way for schools to participate in January.
Sustainability Days, which uses Hidden Villa’s sustainable buildings as teaching tools, focuses on specific ways that people can live
more gently on the Earth.
Multi-visit Program continued for a second year, with 4th and 5th
graders from Castro School (Mountain View) combining three
customized Hidden Villa field trips with year-round integrated
classroom curriculum.
Looking ahead, HVEEP has initiated two exciting new programs: extension of the Castro School multi-visit program into an online format
and expanding the HVEEP mission to a school site. The online curriculum will be posted on Hidden Villa’s web site early in 2006. Our
school-linked program began in fall 2005, in partnership with Taft
School in Redwood City. Our main challenge lies in balancing our
outreach efforts with the environmentally sustainable capacity of our
on-site programs.
summer camp
Summer Camp offered five different age-appropriate camp programs
for youth aged 6 to 18: Day Camp, Junior Resident Camp, Resident
Camp, Farm & Wilderness, Bay-to-Sea Backpack, and ACT Counselor
Training. Our camp staff of 61 counselors included 5 graduates of the
2-year counselor training program.
Once again, program directors worked with local social service agencies from San Francisco, the East Bay, the Peninsula, and the South
Bay. Hidden Villa’s strong emphasis on inclusion and cross-cultural
sharing was evident by the camp population of 52% stated ethnic
minorities.
98% of campers rated their experience as good or excellent. Summer
Camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and completed its 60th season in summer 2005. Challenges for the future will be
improving customer service with upgraded database and web technology, and broadening the range of financial aid to include more
middle-income families.

community programs
Community Programs offered an exciting mix of multicultural performances, farm and sustainable building tours, workshops, presentations, and family and children’s activities. In response to popular
demand, we expanded our programs for targeted age groups by adding Poultry for Preschoolers and Barnyard Babies, and increased the
frequency of our Cow Wow and Toddlers on the Farm series.
We welcomed collaborations with Audubon Society of Santa Clara
County (Bird Hike), California Native Plant Society (Gardening with
Native Plants and Wildflower Hike), County of San Mateo RecycleWorks (Size Matters: Environmental Impact of Big Houses), Los Altos History Museum (Historic Home Tour), Peninsula Astronomical
Society (Stargazing Parties), and Waldorf School of the Peninsula
(Earth Day programs).
“Thanks for all the produce—
my kids are actually
eating vegetables now!”
—CSA member
Our 3-person Community Programs staff relies heavily on volunteers to lead farm tours and assist in events production. Future challenges include increasing the number of volunteers and securing
sponsorships to support expenses for guest presenters.
community supported agriculture
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) served 91 members, including “scholarship” shares distributed through St. Vincent de Paul Society (East Palo Alto). Besides the Agriculture Manager and two interns,
Hidden Villa contracted an interim farm coordinator to assist with the
harvest. Many individual volunteers and groups participated in farm
work, including ongoing recruits from Foothill Middle College.
Not only can we boast that our produce is certified organic, Manager
Andrew Scott and his wife Carolyn were recipients of the “Stewards of
Sustainable Agriculture” award at the Ecological Farming Conference
for their work over the past 40 years.
Looking ahead, we are exploring possibilities of supplying organic
produce to low-income families through a distribution program in
partnership with Community Services Agency of Mountain View.
hostel
Hidden Villa’s Hostel, the oldest operating hostel in the United States,
accommodated guests from around the world. In addition to the hostel, Hidden Villa also offered Josephine’s Retreat, the Visitors Welcome Center, and the Duveneck House for rental to families, church/
religious groups, elementary-middle-high schools, colleges/universities, scouts, yoga/meditation groups, quilters/painters/singers,
nonprofits, businesses, and foundations.
Improvements scheduled for the facilities include Internet service for
hostel guests and upgrading the Visitors Welcome Center.

animal program
Hidden Villa’s Animal Program supports Summer Camp, HVEEP,
Community Programs, and the public. Our working farm model focuses on education and accessibility; teaches sustainable production
of fiber, meat, dairy, and eggs; provides information for consumer
choices; and fosters a sense of empathy and connection to the natural
world.
Hidden Villa keeps heritage breeds of livestock, and our baby animals
are a favorite farm attraction. Last year we welcomed Jersey calf Rory
(Aurora), six Oberhasli goat kids, ten piglets, and dozens of chicks. For
the future, we plan to increase educational opportunities, heighten
production efficiency, develop markets for our products, and increase
sales revenue.

land
“We purchased the
land because we fell in love
with it, and it has been our policy
ever since to preserve and cherish its pristine
beauty for other lovers of nature now and in future generations.”
—Josephine Duveneck
Hidden Villa’s preserve surrounds a valley floor of about 30 acres,
which constitutes our organization’s main program area. Extending
from the agricultural portion known as the “lower fields” to the “upper ranch” section of the White Barn and corporation yard, it includes
all the fields, pastures, gardens, and parking lots as well as the structures for programs, residences, administration, maintenance, and
storage. Through this cultivated/inhabited area snakes Adobe Creek,
while above it rise the foothills and 8 miles of hiking trails through
1600 acres of open space.
Preserving the pristine beauty for lovers of nature and future generations is a responsibility that falls to Hidden Villa’s property/maintenance, horticulture, agriculture, and animal staff. Besides our program participants, each year we welcome more than 12,000 casual
visitors who come to stroll, hike, explore, picnic, paint, photograph,
bird-watch…
Major improvements in 2004–2005 included: new well (resulting in
the ability to irrigate more crops and landscaping), replacement of two
8
bridges, livestock shelter for Steinmann’s field, new Visitors Welcome
Center lawn, landscaping and pathways at Wolken Education Center,
olive orchard restoration Phase I, and Adobe Creek bank restoration.
A highlight of the year was completion of our Accessible Garden alongside the wheelchair ramp in front of the Wolken Education Center. The
garden features drought-tolerant, wildlife-friendly, and beautiful California native plants. HVEEP staff developed interpretive materials
for visitors to this and all Hidden Villa’s educational gardens.
Staff implemented improvements while continuing ongoing maintenance and repairs—clearing trails and paths, resurfacing roads, planting/replacing trees, grooming gardens and landscaping, fixing barn
doors/benches/tabletops/fences, etc.
Looking ahead, future maintenance or capital improvement projects
include: Visitors Welcome Center upgrades (floor, interior, deck),
White House porch, Tin Barn roof repair, upper ranch bathroom and
septic system, new greenhouse, new pavilion, wildlife corridor, and
two exciting intern projects—an interpretive Nature Trail and agroforestry work along Steinmann’s field. Our two major challenges are balancing our needs with the carrying capacity of land, and generating
resources to pay for maintenance and equipment.

legacy
“I have always felt
that no one can own land
and that custodianship is a sacred trust
that involves great responsibility along with the
enjoyment. But to share with children and to be able to contribute vital
educational experiences to their growth is a great reward in itself.”
“Human beings need roots in the soil, just like plants, specific spots where
kinship can be established. Our purpose should be to produce strong, healthy,
happy individuals, sensitive to the needs of others, deeply concerned about the
injustices of the world, equipped with the good judgment, the self discipline,
and the confidence to help eliminate inequities.”
—Josephine Duveneck
Hidden Villa carries on the legacy of its founders, Frank and Josephine Duveneck, by continuing the Environmental Education and
Summer Camp programs they founded and by caring for the open
space they granted to the community. Above all, Hidden Villa passes

on the Duvenecks’ values of responsibility, social justice, and deep respect for nature and living things through its programs, policies, and
community relationships.
Hidden Villa’s mission reaches into the community through our relationships with our neighbors in the Bay Area. We place great emphasis on youth development through our connections with schools,
youth service organizations, teachers, and youth leaders.
Hidden Villa’s resident intern program is an example of our commitment to a just and sustainable future. The program provides young
adults with an opportunity to grow and learn in their professional and
personal development while contributing valuable energy, knowledge, and skill to Hidden Villa’s programs. Our ten interns took on
more and more responsibility as they acquired knowledge and skills
to further pursue their interests. In acknowledgment of the educational content of the internships, Foothill College is currently working
with Hidden Villa to allow academic credit for our intern program.

Day-to-day operations and administration are carried out by our
hard-working and dedicated staff, but long term governance of the
organization is the responsibility of our Board of Trustees, community
leaders who commit time and resources to promote Hidden Villa’s
mission and goals. We are supported by the generosity of individuals,
philanthropic organizations, and volunteers—all of whom enable us
to extend our reach. (See donor page.)
Last year nearly 600 volunteers of all ages supported Hidden Villa
in nearly every department and program—serving as HVEEP guides,
weekend farm and building tour guides, farm helpers, maintenance
workers, event production, and administrative assistants.
